General Information - MULTIQUIP TLG8SSK4F Operation And Parts Manual

GENERATOR
The Multiquip TLG8SSK4F is a 6.0 kW (continuous output),
6.4 kW (max output) A.C. generator designed as a portable
dual purpose power source for 60 Hz (three phase),
120/240V for lighting facilities, power tools, submersible
pumps and other industrial and construction machinery.
CONTROL PANEL
The control box is provided with the following:
„ 120 VAC Receptacle (5-20R)
„ 3 Phase 4 wire Output Terminals
„ AC Ammeter
„ Frequency Meter
„ AC Voltmeter
„ 20 Amp 3 Phase Circuit Breaker
„ 20 Amp Circuit Breaker (for 5-20R)
„ Engine Speed Switch
„ Voltage Regulator
„ Starter Switch
„ Warning Lamp Unit
„ Hour Meter
„ Ground Terminal
ENGINE PROTECTION SYSTEM
Engine protection failsafe features are provided in the event
of low oil pressure, high coolant temperature and failure of
the battery to charge. If any of the above conditions occur
while operating the generator, it will cause a complete unit
shutdown.
BATTERY CHARGE ALARM
This unit is equipped with a protective shutdown device
that signals the emergency relay and automatically stops
the engine when loss of charge from the engine alternator
occurs. An indicator lamp will be displayed on the control
panel.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WATER TEMPERATURE ALARM
This unit is equipped with a temperature switch that signals
the emergency relay and automatically stops the engine
when the temperature of the engine coolant becomes
abnormally high. The coolant temperature switch will not
function properly if the machine is operated with less than
the proper amount of coolant.
OIL PRESSURE WARNING ALARM
This unit is equipped with an oil pressure switch that detects
low oil pressure. If the lubricating oil pressure of this unit
should become abnormally low, the oil pressure switch
signals the emergency relay to shut down the engine. If
this condition should occur, please refer to the engine
troubleshooting table in this manual.
EXCITATION SYSTEM
The TLG8SSK4F generator uses a brushless exciter to
create rated output electricity. This system will use the
mechanical energy generated by the 3600 RPM engine
to spin the rotor (or armature) inside the generator (or
alternator end).
Excitation current is sourced from the battery to the
excitation winding in the stator. Current applied to this coil
creates a magnetic field. The rotating armature within the
stator is then induced with AC current.
ENGINE
The TLG8SSK4F generator is powered by a water-cooled,
4-cycle KUBOTA diesel engine. This engine is designed
to meet every performance requirement of the generator.
In keeping with Multiquip's policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject
